Oh yes let's diminish because it is women slaughtered in one fell swoop.
If it happened in a synagogue it would be classified as a hate crime
or in a black baptist church, etc etc
but because it happened to women, in a woman's gym, it is simply just another crime of violence by a "mentally ill" person.
Fuck! That is sickeniing on so many levels.
I am not trying to diminish the seriousness of this crime, just trying to put it in perspective. I have no real idea why men like Sodini hated women like he did. I admit to not being a criminologist or social worker or anything of the sort. I was concerned enough to want to comment about this particular act of misogyny in the extreme. And I think that's a positive thing for me and everyone who's posted in this thread who have demonstrated some concern about it. Apparently I've spent too much time in this thread already and have no idea what I'm talking about. Carry on.
